Paul Stastny notched a goal and an assist in a 6-1 win over Colorado on Thursday night.

Stastny had contributed only one goal and one helper in his previous seven outings, but it seems a visit from his former team was just what he needed to get back on track. He has recorded three goals and two assists in three games versus the Avalanche in 2017-18. He has 12 goals and 38 points in 56 contests this season.

Brayden Schenn scored a power play goal in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Dallas Stars.

Schenn finally got the Blues on the board at the 18:46 mark of the third period to cut the deficit to 2-1. Obviously, that's as close as the Blues would come to tying the game. The 26-year-old now has 24 goals and 55 points in 60 games this season. eight of his 24 goals have been scored on the man-advantage. Jaden Schwartz and Vladimir Tarasenko registered the assists on St. Louis' only goal.

Oskar Sundqvist will not play in Friday's game against the Dallas Stars.

Sundqvist missed Thursday's practice because of an illness, but he was on the ice for Friday's morning skate, which means he's a healthy scratch. He has no goals and three assists in 30 games this season. Chris Butler will join him in the press box.

Kyle Brodziak scored the Blues' only goal in a 4-1 loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Brodziak opened the scoring 3:10 into the second period, but the Penguins scored four unanswered markers to claim the victory. Chris Thorburn and Scottie Upshall had assists on Brodziak's ninth goal of the season.

Patrik Berglund scored a power play goal in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens.

Berglund's goal at the 5:14 mark of the third period gave the Blues a 2-0 lead at the time, and they never looked back. He finished the night with four shots on goal and four hits in 13:32 of ice time. Berglund has now picked up a point in three of his last four games. He also managed to put his 10-game goal drought to bed. The 29-year-old has seven goals and 11 points in 28 games this season. Ivan Barbashev and Alex Steen also found the back of the net for St. Louis on Tuesday night.

The surgery was performed by Dr. Bernard Bach. Fabbri suffered a torn ACL last February. He underwent surgery to repair the injury and was cleared to play in late July. Unfortunately for Fabbri, he re-injured himself during training camp. The Blues forward is done for the season.

Vladimir Tarasenko scored a power play goal in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks.

Tarasenko cut the Sharks' lead to 3-2 with under 30 seconds remaining in the second frame when he buried a rebound past San Jose's Martin Jones. The Russian winger finished the night with a minus-1 rating, three shots on goal and three hits in 21:36 of ice time. The 26-year-old is currently riding a three-game point streak. He's up to 24 goals and 53 points in 61 games this season. Ivan Barbashev also found the back of the net for the Blues on Tuesday night.

Alexander Steen notched a goal and a helper in Tuesday's 4-3 OT loss to Nashville.

Steen registered his 13th goal and 24th assist to give the Blues a 3-0 lead, but the Predators came from behind to claim the victory. Steen has been rolling offensively since the end of December and he has generated 17 points in his past 18 outings.

The Blues acquired Soshnikov from the Maple Leafs earlier this week, but he's currently sidelined with a lower-body injury. "I’ve heard a lot of really good things," Yeo said. "I think it’s going to be a really good move for our organization just in terms of his work ethic, his skating ability, his ability to play on both sides of the puck. I think that, talking to some people and hearing from some people in Toronto, they actually really liked him. Coaches liked him." Soshnikov has no points and a minus-2 rating in three games this season. He isn't worth adding in any fantasy format.

Alex Pietrangelo won the Passing Challenge at the 2018 All-Star Skills Competition.

Pietrangelo was passing the puck with impressive pinpoint accuracy. This was an incredibly different event, so the fact that the Blues defenseman managed to complete it in 46.610 seconds is pretty impressive. Wild forward Eric Staal (46.610) and Penguins defenseman Kris Letang (100:015) finished second and third in the event. You can watch Pietrangelo's winning run by clicking the link below.

Joel Edmundson will be re-examined in six weeks after he underwent surgery to repair a broken right forearm.

Edmundson was injured on a blocked shot Thursday night against Colorado. He leads the Blues with 125 blocks and he has a recorded 15 points in 56 games this season. Edmundson has been placed on injured reserve. He could be back just before the end of the regular season if his recovery goes well.

It took a while, but someone finally found the back of the net in this one. Gunnarsson scored the only goal of the game with less than six minutes remaining in regulation. He finished the game with a plus-1 rating, two penalty minutes, three shots on goal and three hits in 18:23 of ice time. He had been a healthy scratch in each of St. Louis' previous three games. Gunnarsson now has five goals and two assists in 43 games this season. He won't have any fantasy value going forward. Paul Stastny registered the assist on St. Louis' only goal.

Interestingly enough, Dunn was expected to be a healthy scratch in this one. He ended up playing because Jay Bouwmeester, who was away from the team because his wife gave birth, didn't make it to Toronto in time for the game. Alexander Steen tied the game at one with less than one minute remaining in regulation before Dunn ended the overtime frame at the 1:43 mark of the period. Dunn has four goals and four assists in 40 games this season.

Bouwmeester is set to become the 186th player to reach that milestone and the eighth among active players. "It's kinda neat. It's another sign you're getting a little older," Bouwmeester said in reference to the milestone. "It's kind of like birthdays (where) after a certain point you don't want to know what number it is." Speaking of birthdays, Bouwmeester is 34-years-old so while he is getting up there in years, it would be shocking to see him stay in the league for another five or more seasons.

Jake Allen allowed two goals on 16 shots in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Dallas Stars.

Allen kept the Stars off the board in the opening frame, but he surrendered a power play tally to Mattias Janmark early in the second period. The Stars then went up 2-0 midway through the third period and never looked back. Allen has now dropped seven of his last eight decisions. He has a 19-17-2 record with a 2.72 goals-against-average and a .908 save percentage this season.

Carter Hutton allowed three goals on 23 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks.

Hutton kept the Sharks off the board in the first and third periods, but he gave up three goals in the middle frame. The Blues goaltender has now dropped three of his last four games. The 32-year-old has a 15-6-2 record with a 1.87 goals-against-average and a .938 save percentage this season. It looks like he and Jake Allen will continue splitting starts until one of them emerges as the clear-cut number one goalie. That isn't an ideal situation for fantasy owners.
